Avengers, Watchmen or TDK, I'd say. But neither of them are near a 10. My respect for someone's opinion kind of drops when they throw 9s and 10s at films like that, a 9 is really good film and a 10 is a masterpiece.

That's funny, my respect for someone's opinion plummets when they start being snide and sarcastic about another's opinion. If Aziz genuinely enjoyed those films enough to give them 9's and 10's, what's the problem?

You say "...10 is a masterpiece" but keep in mind, what's a masterpiece to one person isn't necessarily a masterpiece to the next.

And btw., do you include SM3 in that 7-8.5 range?

LOL, my respect for someone's opinion kind of drops when they don't respect other people's opinions...

And FYI, I do try to be conservative with my scores, and use up the whole scale. Of course, I can only compare them to the other movies I've seen, and I have seen embarrassingly few "classics". IF we're doing this rating business, this is how I rank the ones that I've seen...

I voted Avengers, but I was hard pressed to choose between that and Dredd. As a ranking it would go
Avengers
Dredd
X-Men: First Class
The Dark Knight Rises/The Dark Knight (I think TDKR was a better representation of the character but had far more stupid moments than the TDK, which had better writing on a technical level, So I rank them equally as they each fulfill certain criteria for me)
The Amazing Spider-Man
Batman Returns

See, I'm not disagreeing with his opinions, I am question his rating system (which, if it is to hold any meaning to anyone but him, should be more or less standardized). Also, if one gets offended by a mildly wry comment like that, then I don't really feel sorry for that person. It was in no way meant offensive.

Still, not commenting on opinions. Just saying that if you are to give a movie a 10/10, then it should be really good, on several levels.
